My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 303 Head-to-Head

"what do you mean……"

Song Yafei seemed to be deep in thought.

"I suspect someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Mr. Song said, "You need to be extra careful lately, especially at the company."

Song Yafei nodded. "I understand."

After seeing Mr. Song off, Song Yafei sat on the sofa in a daze.

I poured her a glass of water. "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about my mom's reaction today."

"Something just feels off."

Something's not right.

"She seems...too angry."

Song Yafei said, "You know, over the years, every time my dad was mentioned, she always seemed indifferent. But today..."

I understood what she meant: "You think someone is stirring things up behind the scenes?"

"Maybe."

She sighed, "Over the years, I've always felt that there are some strange things happening in the company. But every time I try to investigate, the clues just go cold."

I recalled what Mr. Song had said, "Could it be related to that person from back then?"

"possible."

She frowned. "I need to investigate this thoroughly."

Just then, her phone rang.

It was Assistant Luo calling.

"President Song, something's happened!"

On the other end of the phone, Assistant Luo's voice sounded hurried.

"what happened?"

"Someone just spread rumors at the board meeting that your father is still alive and is coming back to seize power!"

Song Yafei's face turned very pale.

This news came too suddenly, but it was clearly not a coincidence.

Have you found out who is spreading the rumors?

"not yet."

Assistant Luo said, "But things are starting to get turbulent on the board. Some people are questioning your leadership."

Song Yafei sneered, "I'd like to see who's so bold."

After hanging up the phone, she immediately began calling several trusted confidants to arrange for people to investigate the matter.

As I watched her busy herself, something suddenly occurred to me.

"Could it be Yu Zhe?"

Song Yafei shook her head. "It couldn't be him. I've already kicked him out of the Song family. Besides, he doesn't have the guts."

"Who could it be?"

"He must be someone who knows the Song family very well."

"And...it must be someone who has a grudge against my father."

I nodded.

Indeed, not many people know that Mr. Song is still alive, and it would take considerable influence to spread rumors within the board of directors.

Just then, Song Yafei's phone rang again. It was Mr. Song.

"Yafei, I just received a message."

His tone was anxious, "You need to be careful..."

"I see, Dad."

Song Yafei said, "You should also be careful. It's best to avoid public places during this period."

After hanging up the phone, Song Yafei looked even more worried.

"what happened?"

“My dad said he suspects that person from back then is now on the board of directors.”

"And it's very likely that he's someone in a high-ranking position."

I frowned. "Who do you think it could be?"

Song Yafei pondered for a moment, "I have a suspect. But I need to confirm it."

"Do you need my help?"

She looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually... I think you'd better be careful lately too."

"why?"

"because……"

She hesitated, then said, "Never mind, I'll wait until I confirm it."

Although she didn't say it, I could guess a bit about it.

If someone really wants to deal with her, then Xiao Xiaotian and I will naturally become targets as well.

"Little Tian..."

Something suddenly occurred to me.

"I have already had security at the villa increased."

"And Aunt Lin was made to take care of him every step of the way."

I nodded. "That's good."

In the evening, Song Yafei stayed in her study handling matters.

After I put Xiaoxiaotian to sleep, I brought her some late-night snacks.

"Have something to eat."

I placed the noodles in front of her.

She rubbed her temples. "Thank you."

Looking at her exhausted appearance, I asked, "Did you find anything?"

"We found some clues."

"But that's not enough."

"Would you like to tell me?"

She glanced at me. "You really want to know?"

I nodded.

In any case, we're all in the same boat now.

"Ok."

She put down the documents in her hand. "Do you still remember the person who was in charge of acquiring the Han family back then?"

I was taken aback. "Director Chen?"

"Correct."

She said, "He was my father's right-hand man back then. But after my father 'passed away,' he began to slowly erode the Song family's power."

"You suspect it's him?"

"Ah."

"He's been targeting me secretly all these years. I just don't have any evidence."

I recalled what happened back then, "So...the Han family's matter..."

"Yes."

She gave a bitter smile, "He was the one who orchestrated that whole thing. He knew you were my weakness, so..."

I never expected things to turn out this way.

"But why would he do that?"

"that power."

Song Yafei sneered, "He wants to control the Song family. And I am his stumbling block."

I suddenly understood something. "So, back then, when he wanted your father to leave, it was also for..."

"Correct."

"He wanted a puppet. Unfortunately, I wasn't one."

She must have been carrying all this on her own all these years; how tiring it must have been.

How can I help you?

She looked at me, a hint of tenderness in her eyes, "You've already helped so much."

"If it weren't for you, I might still not know the truth."

I shook my head. "You deserve all of this."

She smiled but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was a message from Assistant Luo.

After reading the message, her face turned very pale.

"Director Chen is calling a board meeting to hold an emergency meeting."

She gritted her teeth, "He wanted to take advantage of the situation..."

What are you going to do?

She stood up. "I'll see this through to the end."

The next morning, Song Yafei went to the company.

Before leaving, she specifically instructed me to take good care of Xiao Xiaotian and not let him leave the villa.

I could sense her worry, but there was nothing I could do but wait for her news at home.

The board meeting began promptly at 10:00 AM.

Although I wasn't there in person, I was able to keep up with the meeting's progress through Assistant Luo's real-time updates.

As expected, Director Chen immediately began to question Song Yafei's leadership abilities.

More importantly, he brought up the fact that Mr. Song was still alive.

“Since President Song is still alive, then according to the company’s articles of association, he is the rightful heir to the Song family business.”

Director Chen said, "Ms. Song Yafei, what do you think?"

Song Yafei sneered, "Director Chen, are you sure you want to say that?"

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

You're half right.

Song Yafei said, "My father is indeed still alive. But..." She paused, "Do you know why he left?"

Director Chen's expression showed a moment of panic, but he quickly returned to normal.

How would I know that?

"is it?"

Song Yafei looked at him coldly, "Then let me tell you."

She produced a document, saying, "This is evidence of your threats against my father back then."
